For the quantitative determination of ethanol in serum and plasma. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
METHOD HISTORY
Enzymatic UV test with alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)
PRINCIPLE ADH Ethanol + NAD+ Acetaldehyde + NADH + H+
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) catalyzes the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde with the concomitant reduction of NAD+ to NADH. The measured absorbance of the produced NADH is proportional to the ethanol concentartion in the sample
REAGENT COMPOSITION
R1: Buffer ( pH 9,0) 300 mmol/L
R2: Buffer (pH 6,6) 40 mmol/L NAD ≥ 10
mmol/L Alcohol dehydrogenase ≥ 200 kU/L
REAGENT PREPARATION
Ready to use
REAGENT STORAGE AND STABILITY
1.The reagents are stable up to the end of hte indicated month of expiry,protected from light and contamination is avoided.
2.Do not freze the reagents.
3.The standards are stable up to the end of hte indicated month of expiry.
4.The standard bottles must be used immediately after opening since the indicated concentration changes due to evaporation.
